How to customize standby color in iOS 17

Apple is offering a new lock screen mode in iOS 17 called Standby Mode, which activates when your iPhone is plugged into a charger (wired or wireless) and placed on a stand in landscape orientation. This mode will show more information at a glance than the standard lock screen by showing the clock, weather data, calendar, and some widgets. Once you enable this feature in Settings, your iPhone will automatically enter standby mode when placed in landscape orientation while charging.

How to change standby colors in iOS 17

Standby mode offers a set of three pages (Widgets, Photos, and Clock) that you can switch back and forth by swiping across the screen. Of these pages, only the Clock screen lets you customize the colors that appear on the screen, so you can change how the clock screen appears when your iPhone is in standby mode.

The clock screen can be configured into different themes – Digital, Analog, World, Solar and Floating. You can customize each of these themes with a color of your choice, except for the world theme which only comes in a single color mode. Each theme has its own set of color palettes to choose from, so you may not be able to apply the same colors to all themes.

【Note】Ensure Standby is enabled on iPhone>. To change the standby color on your iPhone, first, enter standby mode

on your iPhone by plugging your iPhone into the charger and placing it sideways. When your iPhone display transitions to standby, move to the

third screen in standby by

swiping left to the clock

screen. When the standby clock screen appears, long press the

screen to customize.

to verify your identity.

.

On the next screen, enter your device password.

Once your device is unlocked, you will see a customization screen for the selected clock. You can

swipe up or down

on this screen to apply a different theme to the Clock screen.

While your chosen theme is active on the screen, tap the white circle button

in the lower right corner of the clock.

This will open the Color menu at the bottom of the screen, where you can select your preferred color to apply. As we explained before, each theme has its own set of color palettes to choose from, so you may not be able to apply the same colors to all themes.

Here are all the color options available for different themes:

Digital Clock

Analog Clock

Solar clock

Floating clock

After selecting the color you want to apply, click the X icon

in the lower right corner to close the Color menu.

When you return to the clock's editing screen, you can apply the changes by tapping Done

in the upper right corner.

The applied color will now appear on the Colors screen until you change it again.

Why does the standby clock always show red? How to Fix It

No matter what theme you apply, the guide above should help change the color of the clock screen on standby. However, if standby mode only displays the clock in red, this is happening because you may be in a dark room and have night mode enabled in standby. When Night Mode is active, the Standby feature will dim your iPhone's display and apply a red tint to all elements on the screen.

In this case, the standby clock color you choose is only applied after you turn off night mode in the standby settings. To do this, go to "Standby>Settings" and turn off the Night Mode toggle under Display.

# Once done, you can return to standby mode on your iPhone to check if the clock screen now shows the new app’s color.
